Yup, reasonably new versions of Linux can read NTFS. from DOS (freeware,
untested):

You said NT locks the file as soon as it starts, does that extend to
driver-load time? I mean, by `start' do you mean the user-visible start or
the actual kernel load? If not, one could theoretically write a fake driver
that can access the file. I wouldn't be surprised if Windows had a hole like
that.
